NS-6740

NS-6740 is a partial agonist of α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7 nAChR) with an IC₅₀ of 3 nM. NS-6740 also acts as a potent modulator of the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway. NS-6740 alters the signaling pattern of α7 in an ion channel-independent manner, thereby reducing synaptic function. NS-6740 induces the desensitized state of α7 nAChR. NS-6740 generates robust nAChR-mediated currents. NS-6740 reduces LPS (HY-D1056)-induced TNF-α release from microglia. NS-6740 can be used in the research of neuroinflammation and neuropathic pain.
